Welcome to the Old Calculator Web Museum.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Rick Bensene, the curator of this museum.
I'm 57, live in a rural area outside of Oregon City, Oregon USA
(near the end of the Oregon Trail), called Beavercreek, and am a computing/
network/telecommunications professional.
I've been a fan of all kinds of technology since I was a youngster in
the mid-1960's.

The museum pages aren't fancy, focusing on content rather than flare.
This museum is simply devoted to preserving, documenting, and sharing the
technology of desktop automatic calculating machines -- from the
electro-mechanical calculators of the 1950's and '60's, through the
beginnings of the pocket wonders we have today, which had their roots in the
early 1970's, and on into the beginnings of the desktop computer of the
mid-1970's through the early 1980's.

For more information about the museum, please see the
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

I'm always looking for old calculators of interest. If you
have an old machine which was made between 1950 and 1975,
I may be interested in making it a part of the museum.
For more information about specific machines I'm interested in
acquiring for the museum, see my WANTED
page or click the "WANTED" section below.
If you have a machine which seems to fit these interests and are looking
for a new home for it, please drop me an EMail with information about the
machine.

These pages are dedicated to the loving memory of my Mom, who loved my
passion for these old machines. The site is also dedicated to George and
Emma Sayers, my Godparents. These people had a very
special place in my life, and hold a very special place in my
heart.
